Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP) is a government agency reporting
to the Minister of Economy. The Agency was created by virtue of an act dated November
9th, 2000. The task of the Agency is to manage the state and EU funds devoted to the
support of entrepreneurship and innovativeness as well as the development of human
resources.

Clusters in Poland
For over a decade PARP has been supporting entrepreneurs in the implementation
of competitive and innovative undertakings. The goal of the Agency’s actions is the
implementation of economy development programs that support innovativeness
and research activity of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), regional development,
increase of export, development of export, human resources and application of new
technologies.
In the 2007-2013 financial perspective the Agency is responsible for the implementation
of activities within three operational programs: Innovative Economy, Human Capital
and Development of Eastern Poland.
One of the priorities of the Agency is the promotion of innovative attitudes and encouraging
enterprises to apply modern technologies in their companies. With this in mind, the Polish
Agency for Enterprise Development runs a website devoted to the topic of innovativeness
www.pi.gov.pl and organizes annually the competition The Polish Product of the
Future. Representatives of SMEs can also, within the Innovative Entrepreneurs’ Club,
participate in cyclical meetings. The aim of the educational portal PARP Academy
(www.akademiaparp.gov.pl) is popularizing among micro, small and medium sized
enterprises the access to business knowledge in the form of e-learning. Through the
web.gov.pl website PARP is supporting the development of e-business. The Agency includes
also the center of the Enterprise Europe Network which offers the entrepreneurs information regarding EU law and principles of running economic activity in the Single Market.
PARP initiated the creation of the National Services System (KSU) which provides aid in
establishing and developing economic activity. In over 140 KSU centers (including KSU
consultation points, KSU National Innovation Network, loan funds and loan guarantee
funds cooperating within the National Services System) in the territory of the entire
Poland entrepreneurs and persons initiating economic activity can obtain information,
guidance and training regarding running business activity as well as obtain a loan or cosigning for a loan. PARP manages also the KSU center website www.ksu.parp.gov.pl.
PARP’s regional partners in implementing the selected activities are the Regional
Financing Institutions.

Preface
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Over the last few years we have observed a dynamic growth of the competitiveness of Polish enterprises. A significant number of
those businesses are successful not only on local markets but also on competitive foreign markets. Maintaining such a tendency
requires constant work towards increasing the quality of offered products and continuous search for innovative solutions.
An important element of the economic competitiveness of regions is cooperation between business, science and local authorities.
Being synonymous with success driven by a high quality competition, clusters offer perfect conditions for such cooperation.
The development of cooperative networks in Poland depends mainly on the will of companies, their mutual trust and skills of
coordinators coming from business support institutions and administration. Being aware of the benefits stemming from clusters,
the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development aims at encouraging companies to cooperate with domestic and foreign partners.
Actions supporting such cooperation are implemented through a number of projects promoting positive aspects of operating in
formalized collaborative networks.
I am very proud to present our catalogue published with the purpose of promoting Polish clusters as well as their innovative
services and technologies. I believe this catalogue can help you initiate transnational cooperation and implement joint research
and development projects.
I wish you a nice reading.

Introduction
Financial stability
Cluster could be characterized as geographical agglomeration of mutually related companies, specialized suppliers,
service performing entities, companies operating in similar sectors and related institutions, which both cooperate
and compete with each other1. The development potential of clusters and cluster initiatives2 in a given country is
determined by numerous factors including conditions of
conducting business activities, as well as the presence of
different types of institutions which might support the development of enterprises.
In the age of global economic crisis Poland is characterized
by a relatively stable financial situation. This stability is
ensured by a floating exchange rate, relatively big domestic
demand and increasing scale of export of Polish goods.
Throughout the last decade the level of inflation in the
country was stable and did not exceed 5,5%6. National
public debt amounting to 56,3% of GDP places Poland far
above the average of all EU states (82,5%) (2011)7.
Economic heart of Europe
Strong human capital
Poland located in the central part of Europe is one of the
biggest countries as far as area is concerned (321 thousand
km2). The central location of the country with a developed
road, railway and aviation infrastructure guarantees easy
access to both Western and Eastern European markets.
Polish railways with the joint length of 20 228 km belongs
to the densest railway system in the world (2011)3. It is also
worth noting that wide railway connection with Russia and
other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent
States facilitate transport to the eastern markets. Poland
features also numerous sea and trade ports (including
Szczecin, Świnoujście, Gdynia and Gdańsk), which have
connections with the most important ports all over the
world.
Poland has at its disposal a very well developed educational
and scientific background. On the territory of the country
there are 453 institutes of higher education8 with a rich
educational offer. The most relevant academic centers
include: Warszawa, Kraków, Gdańsk, Poznań, Wrocław
and Łódź. In 2009 the percentage of persons9 with higher
education amounted to 21% i.e. 10 percentage points
higher than ten years earlier10. Within the period 1999-2009
the average annual increase of graduates amounted to 6,5%
which places Poland among the European leaders right
behind Luxembourg.
One of the most important economies in
Europe
Poland ensures beneficial conditions for the development
of innovativeness and entrepreneurship. In the recent
years a number of business environment institutions were
created with the aim of supporting the representatives of
the business and science sector in the implementation of
different types of undertakings regarding business and R&D.
These institutions offer, inter alia, office space, specialist
laboratory equipment, specialist business consulting. In
2012 there were jointly 735 centers of innovation and
entrepreneurship including: 24 technology parks, 40
entrepreneurship incubators, 90 technology transfer centers
and 317 training, consulting and IT centers.
For the last two decades changes were pending in Poland
related to the transformation of the economic system, i.e.
from a centrally guided into a market economy. The increase
of the pace of economic development was influenced by
accession to the European Union, which strengthened the
national economic, social and legal status of the country.
At present, Poland is the 6th biggest economy in Europe
and 20th in the world (2011r)4 with gross domestic product
(GDP) reaching 514 billion dollars. Between 2007 and 2010
the average pace of GDP increase amounted to 4,3%, while
in other EU countries it was close to zero5.

Attractive place to invest
On the territory of Poland there are 14 Special Economic
Zones (SEE) with the total area of 11 thousand ha,
which make it possible to conduct business activity on
preferential conditions11. Special Economic Zones enable
the entrepreneurs to obtain tax reliefs, possibility to initiate
business activity on a specially prepared territory as well as
obtain aid in arranging formalities related to implementation
of investment.
grouping as many as 26, which ranks it first in the country.
They are quite numerously represented in the WarmińskoMazurskie (18) and Śląskie Voivodeships (17).
Most frequently initiatives are created by businesses13,
which is a good sign for the level of self-organization and
cooperation of the business environment. Business support
institutions are also quite active (e.g. regional development
agencies, associations, foundations), R&D institutes and
entities from the field of science.
The economic growth of Poland was also facilitated by
clusters and cluster initiatives. Their number has been
growing in the country recently. Until March 2012 around
212 cluster initiatives were created12. Mazowieckie
Voivodeship has been particularly active in this field
A majority of initiatives is relatively young (created between
2007-2009)14, but in connection with a high level of education
of employees employed by their members this fact points
to a significant development potential. Despite their young
age, Polish clusters take on a number of activities aimed at
the use of the synergy effect. These include: preparation of a
joint offer, conducting lobby activities, placing joint orders,
sales by a joint distribution channel15.

Sources: own work on the basis of data included in cluster catalogues, PARP
The analysis of sector structure of the Polish cluster initiatives
reveals that they function both in sectors recognized as
innovative as well as more traditional. The most numerous
is the ICT sector represented by 28 cluster initiatives located
predominantly in the Mazowieckie (6), Małopolskie (5)
and Śląskie Voivodeship (4). As much as 27 initiatives in 11
voivodeships operate in the tourist sector. Their strongest
concentration can be observed in the Lubelski region in
which there are 4 such initiatives.
Other sectors are also well represented such as: food sector
(20), eco-energy (18) and wood industry (13). Although
there are 20 cluster initiatives in the food industry they
are characterized by significant fragmentation – they are
scattered over 12 voivodeships. Three initiatives each
operate in the following voivodeships: Lubelskie, Łódzkie,
Podlaskie and Warmińsko-Mazurskie and single initiatives in
the remaining voivodeships.
Special attention should be paid to the textile and clothing
industry operating in the Łódzkie Voivodeship which groups
as much as 5 cluster initiatives. This region centers the
biggest number of enterprises dealing with the production
of textiles (21,0%) and clothing (23,5%)16.
The wood industry is strongly represented in the WarmińskoMazurskie Voivodeship which focuses 4 cluster initiatives,
while other voivodeships only feature one. The initiatives
from Warmia and Mazury relate primarily to the production
of furniture and windows.
The automobile industry is characterized by a marked
concentration on the territory of the Mazowsze region – it
groups most cluster initiatives from this sector (4), there are
6 of those in the entire country. Attention should be drawn
to the presence of initiatives specialized in the production
of “green” automobiles.

Podlachia Lingerie Cluster
The Podlachia Lingerie Cluster (Podlaski Klaster Bielizny) was created in 2008 at the initiative of key underwear producers
from Podlasie region. Cluster members include mostly producers of female underwear with over 20 years of experience in the
sector, having their own designers, specialized design studios as well as appropriately trained production employees. Member
companies employ around 600 employees. Annual production of the cluster amounts to about 3 million pieces of lingerie
40% of which is exported. Products of member companies are manufactured from highest quality materials according to the
prevailing trends. The production utilizes state of the art machines and technology.
The cluster has the goal of increasing competitiveness of the Podlasie region lingerie business both domestically as well as
internationally. Members of the cluster jointly work on increasing the level of quality and originality of the manufactured
underwear by joint research and technologies. They operate also for the benefit of creating the vision of Podlasie region as a
strong world underwear industry center.
Sector: lingerie
Cluster’s offer
Manufacturers from the cluster offer a very rich and diversified underwear offer, both for women as well as for
men. Apart from everyday use underwear the offer inclu-
des also luxury, wedding, erotic and modeling lingerie.
Additionally, cluster companies deal with the production
